Play Ball

Several weeks ago we went to a spring training game for the Diamondbacks.

Well last night, we went to the real deal.  Nosebleed section, hot dog, laughed at people on the jumbotron, the whole thing. It was a warm (hot?) evening, and we were grateful that the sun was not beating down on us.

We were part of the losers who left early because we were tired  wanted to beat the traffic, and later found out we lost 7-8 to the LA Dodgers.  We were doing so well too!  Oh well.

What's been up, and what's next.

I always seem to need to have some sort of event, big or small, to keep me going and motivated throughout the week.  I haven't quite figured out if this is a good or bad thing, but that's basically why my blog title is, "What's Next?" Because it fits me perfectly as to how I tend to look at things.

The last couple of weeks have been great, we've been able to do things here and there that have kept us sane during this busy and slightly chaotic work season.  Here are some things we've been up to.

Spring Training

 A couple of weeks ago we went to a spring training game with the Diamondbacks (Go DBacks!)  vs Cubs.  It was a gorgeous day, and it was a chill but fun game.  Wolfgang is officially American, because he had a hot dog at a baseball game!  So proud.  Next step for us is to go to a legit game.


Treat Yo' Self.

Never heard of it?  It's only from one of our favorite TV shows.  Let me clue you in:



So, we decided to have a "Treat Yo Self"  mini (sorta)stay-cation.
We stayed at the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain for two nights; first night was free, second night on our employee rate, of course.  BAM!  It was fantastic. Not to mention, they had the best avocado fries, and buffalo tacos {salivating}

 

 During that little vacation, we also went to Saguaro National Park.  I just love them cacti!

Other festivities have included actually being social with friends and co-workers (woah, I know...)  and going wedding dress shopping with a friend of mine on several occasions, which was fun because I hadn't gone since it was me putting on all those dresses!



And now, the moment you've {I} have been waiting for, of what is to come in the {somewhat}  near future...{and sorry, to many of you, this isn't new news}
Flights are booked, and we are going to Austria for my brother-in-law's wedding in July, with a side detour of Wolfgang's old stomping grounds in England!!!

I'm so excited, I can hardly wait.  We'll be gone for about 2 1/2 weeks.  I've already got a list going of things we have to do, and things we should do while we are over there.  The Lonely Planet book of England has been very helpful, and seeing that I have a local informant for Austria, I don't have to do too much researching for that portion of the trip :)

I even loved  reading the confirmation email for our flights to/from Austria to England, because the English words and slang are different and cute.

Hope you are all doing well, and thanks for being patient with me as I figured out the new Blogger set-up, aka my laziness.
